BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

There are, and the short story is that my neighbour (since deceased) should never have attached his building to my detached garage. But he did, and we have to deal with the consequence.

Had a new garage floor laid.

Now the neighbour has to render their wall before we move on.

I've been using a cheap (£9.85) one from AliExpress for over two years. Just to check / top up the tyres before I ride. It copes well and the battery doesn't seem to fade if left unused. I even checked it against an old school pencil gauge and it was surprisingly accurate. It's already lasted longer...

Of course David. When I know where we (Tim, myself & ORCA RT) are staying, I'll let you know.

Sorry, I don't think I was very clear. The friend I'm waiting for a recommendation on, isn't on the forum.

I mentioned it on here, so that ORCA RT (who I'm also meeting up with), knows what my plans are.

Thanks Dave, but it will be somewhere around Chesterfield as I'm meeting up with another guy (+ORCA) on Thursday.

Will do - I'm just waiting on a friend 'up North' to come up with a recommendation.

Thanks for organising Dave.

Tim and I have booked rooms for Friday and Saturday at the Golden Fleece Hotel.

Looking forward to another 'DC TOUR'.

@Orca the RT Tim and I will likely ride up on Thursday 29th May and stay somewhere en-route. You're very welcome to join us if you like.

You're always on holiday MikeS!!

Hope you have a great time.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. After looking at a number of samples, I've ordered 34 square meters of these, plus a few ramps for the front edge. It's difficult to tell the difference between their 'recycled' ones and their original ones, so I went with recycled. They are a bit cheaper. https:/...

BMW sell lower pannier protectors. I have them on my RT. They prevent paint chips from stones which otherwise flick up on the panniers.

After I've paid for the garage, I'll be lucky if I can afford a Poundland door mat!!

I've got these down in my garage workshop: https://www.costco.co.uk/search?searchOption=uk-search-all&text=garage%20floor&q=garage%20floor:relevance:brand:Klikflor They were easy to fit and are very hard-wearing. They've been down about 6 years and show no sign of wear. I do have a rubber-b...

I'm having a new bigger garage built and am looking at options to cover the concrete floor. I think I've narrowed it down to interlocking PVC tiles and wondered if anyone else has done the same? I think the 'solid' tiles would be better than the foam ones, or the ones that come with a honeycomb back...

Tim kindly had one of my pannier lids resprayed after an unintentional game of 'nudges'!

It cost £150.
